Assertion-first AI eval framework aligned to Anthropic's 'Demystifying evals for AI agents' — typed deterministic asserts + a forced-structured LLM judge over an input→assert case schema, pass^k/pass@k, capability vs regression suites, subscription-billed. USE WHEN eval, evaluate, benchmark, regression test, assertion, assert, llm-rubric, judge, pass@k, pass^k, grade output, compare prompts/models, test agent. NOT FOR scientific-method framing (use Science), property/mutation testing of code (use Hardening), or live UI verification (use Interceptor).
